In other words, <em>with pun intended<\/em>, small steps make a big difference.

In order to stay healthy, we need to find ways to incorporate physical activity into our workday.<\/li>\n<li>Daily living activities like climbing the stairs can make a significant contribution to the 30 minutes of exercise we all need &#8211; everyday.<\/li>\n<li>The 30 minutes of physical activity we need for our health can be accumulated a bit at a time, or one stairway at a time, spread at intervals throughout the day (single piece flow for your health).<\/li>\n<li>Physical activities like stair climbing are a great way to cope with job-related stress<\/li>\n<li>Climbing just two flights of stairs everyday could result a loss of 2.7kg or 6lbs per year. Six flights a day could help you trim nearly 18 lbs., which is an easy way to lose weight.<\/li>\n<li>Adding stairs to your day can add years to your life. Studies show that risk of cardiovascular disease and death is lower among those who are regular Stair climbers.<\/li>\n<li>Stair climbing can also add life to your years. Those who climb stairs on a daily basis have greater leg strength and aerobic capacity, allowing them to participate more fully in a wide range of daily activities.<\/li>\n<li>Taking the stairs is often faster than waiting for an elevator during peak usage times. Take the test and time your trip. Often for trips of 7 floors or less, the stairs are the quickest way to your destination.<\/li>\n<li>Using the stairs requires no special skill, equipment or clothing and it burns twice as many calories as walking.<\/li>\n<li>Stair climbing is a green&#8217; activity, the only energy source used is what is stored in our bodies &#8211; good for you and the environment!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So what are you waiting for? Aren&#8217;t you worth it?<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Lean Thinkers, we know that small changes can make a big difference.
